But, according to your Catholic doctrine, all those stories are literal, otherwise no need to be baptized to wash away Original Sin which was placed upon humanity because of Adam & Eve. And even Jesus believed the Noah flood myth because he referenced it in Matthew 24:37.
Incorrect. A Catholic is free to interpret ot stories as either literal or fictolional.
Unless things have changed since I became an atheist, I believe you are mistaken. Oh, everyone is free to interpret the stories as literal or fictional, of course, but official church doctrine is that the OT stories are all true.
Like I asked, what is the point in washing away original sin with baptism if the Adam & Eve story is false?
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
